I work for Bill Rumpke Sr. back in the mid-1990’s he was a kind and generous man. He made you feel like family, and I appreciate all the opportunities he gave me. Gina Stenson

Rumpke offers a free, professional-driver training program to help grow our team of drivers. Since the program's inception, hundreds of individuals have secured their Class B CDL and started driving for us. Unlike many CDL training programs which cost thousands of dollars, Rumpke's driver trainee program is a full-time paid position. Individuals receive classroom, in-field, and cross-training. We cover all training costs, and participants earn raises for each milestone achieved. to aplly for a driver trainee position, please visit our website rumpke.cc/43razQh

Is it a stable shift ? Or do you work until your done ?

[@RumpkeCleanAndGreen]

It depends on the position, but most of our driver positions work on routes with allotted timeframes. If a driver finishes his route early, he is done and can generally go home or help other drivers with their routes. If drivers help and pick up other routes, that is additional pay.

[@iViCMychael]

Hi Im sorry for the delay. Our shifts vary by position. Is there one you have seen that you are interested in? Thanks! Lydia
